BLOOD MONEY BRIBE THREAENS CHARLES' GRASP ON THE CROWN!

Horror & outrage over $1.2M bin Laden payoff after 9/11 terror

ARROGANT Prince Charles has torpedoed his chance of becoming king after plunging the monarchy into a new Arab bribery scandal by secretly accepting $1.2 million from 9/11 terrorist Osama bin Laden's brothers, high-level royal sources exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER.

The embattled 73-year-old Prince of Wales is now being urged to step aside before his mother, Queen Elizabeth, 96, is forced to publicly remove him from the line of succession and name his squeaky-clean son William as her official heir!

"It looks like Princess Diana's prophecy will come true - Charles will never be king!" declares a well-placed palace courtier.

"Charges of bribery and cash-for-honors have sunk his legacy and make him unfit to be king." Charles' inexcusable greed was revealed by investigators probing the rogue royal's connections to Arab moneymen. A new investigation revealed Charles secretly took a whopping $1.2 million payout from the Saudi Arabian family of diabolical 9/11 mastermind bin Laden in 2013.

But the transaction during a hush-hush meeting at his London residence, Clarence House, with Osama's halfbrothers Bakr and Shafiq bin Laden was hidden from the public.

Charles laundered the cash through his Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation, according to sources, who note the fund finances the royal's pet projects and contributes to his living expenses. Sources claim insiders associated with the charity were aghast over Charles' behavior and told him to give back the money, but he kept every penny.
